It is a
windy day today, it’s not raining, but now en then you see a little rain splashes
on the window. But I’m sitting inside for the fire, soon it will be dark and
can we light our candles and oil lamps. I’m listening to a great Celtic harp
player, Patrick Ball. Very peaceful and beautiful!
The last
weeks I have been very busy with sewing a new dress for the Christmas dinner.
We were invited to eat there together with everyone who danced or played music
there in the past summer season.
Toftaholm
is a very old manor that dates from the 14th century. The first time
we can read about it, it’s in 1387 when it was only a little farmer-village. In 1470 a man with the name
“Gustav Ollofsson (Stenbock)” did buy the 8 farmhouses to build the manor
there. 1475 was the manor house ready and called “Toftaholm”. Now you can only
visit the ruin after this building. The current wood house was build in 1871.

It was a
great evening, pretty company and the new owners were very charming. Lots of
traditional Swedish Christmas food. 7 courses! Lots of fish, meat, both cold
and hot dishes, very delicious desserts.
